The season is still fairly new and the J2-League table has to be read with caution. So far Matsumoto Yamaga find themselves in 13th position and JEF United are placed 17th.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Matsumoto Yamaga form and stats
The first J2-League game here at Sunpro Alwin Stadium resulted in a draw. Last season Matsumoto Yamaga's home game statistics were 7 victories, 8 draws and 6 defeats from 21 games. With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Matsumoto.
Matsumoto drew their last game, also a home match. Montedio Yamagata (placed 6th) was the opponent, 1-1 the score. A 0-0 draw away before that, with Kyoto Sanga the opponent.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.
